Early Check-In: Multiple Devices
After the initial user Returns this item in ADE on the
Desktop, other users can check-out this title, even if
the initial user still has the title downloaded to
his/her Smartphone and/or eBook Reader.
This creates the potential of an ‘overlap’ of
checked-outs to multiple users at the same time.
EBSCO’s eBook publishers understand and accept
this arrangement.
